7. The person and the individual

Everybody is the likeness of the One, provided he knows this, and he seeks and desires to be born for the second time, no longer in body, but in spirit (re-spiritualization). It can also be stated, that as much as we manifest our universal ego, to that extent we resemble to the One. Everyone is given the possibility to be part of the community of universally spiritual people, to become a spiritual person. A person's ego is universal, the individual’s ego is individual. The two types of men are mentioned for example in the Timaios works of Plato. Unfortunately, in today's society, the definition of a person and an individual are often considered as the one and the same. The individual is a fundamental member of the liberal, egalitarian and democratic mass society, and therefore a quantitative component. Such a society is individualistic and transcendence deficient. In the absence of transcendence, the individual closes himself up, while the person is ingenuous and free. In context between the two, an individual can emerge as a person, should he reveal himself, and become open to existence. A truly strengthened person, does not return to the individual. To play a prominent part, to identify with someone is the basic meaning of a person. As a kind of identification with exemplary people of the past, kings or ecclesiastical persons have decided on new adopted names. Nowadays confirmation serves this purpose as the sign of adulthood.

The spiritual man, knows that the so called reality, the surrounding world perceived with rational thinking and physical sense it’s not the reality. This is a factual and material world (objective world), but is delusional as well (as it is the projection of the eternal world), therefore every man observe different the same objects, tastes, smells, feelings and meanings. How correct the saying: everyone has right, which is true, because there only one eternal truth and reality exist. Beyond our senses is the other subjective world, the only real one, comprehended only by our spiritual ability and vigilance. The so-called objective world elapses with us, the subjective one remains forever. In order to understand this world, the second, spiritual re- birth is required, and by self-redemption to achieve our likeness of the One. At this moment we hope to reach the Tree of Wisdom, instead of the tree of the material.

Some are reaching this stage at the age of thirty, others by fifty, and while others not even at eighty. Those are the ones remaining on the physical level, never growing up for lack of time to reborn, and to become the likeness of the One. They are those, who do not see the Tree of Wisdom because of the tree of the material. The parent's duty is to set the fire, the divine spark, the universal ego, the ancestral soul of their children and to nurture the flame. Lovingly supporting, encouraging his child, taking active part in his efforts of his second rebirth, thus becoming the likeness of the One. The second-born spiritual person is aware that the wasted life (time) received in grace is ignorance, on which will be necessary to account on the last act: how did you used the capabilities, knowledge, talent, time, life and the nine sacralities received in loan?
